Year 5045 (Humanity) Presidential entry #80,925, Imgal Nithlar. Things are growing worse every day, it seems. Perhaps it's natural, perhaps it's the current cycle in our evolution. Whatever the cause, the world as we know it is collapsing.. The La'Itha corporation - controlling most of Asia - is slowly decaying, though most of the population remain loyal so long as the paychecks keep flowing. The Devlan Republic, may god preserve us, consists of Northern and Southern America-for now. Our unity may not exist soon, for across the Atlantic ocean in Africa the Illian nations are growing ever-more hungry for new lands, new riches...new power. But though the political stability of our world is frail, it's health is even worse. Despite all efforts, the previous Ice Age -coming down as far as the tip of North America in the north, and covering Australia in a mile of ice to the South- has collapsed, leaving floating glaciers drifting on the seven seas. The magnetic poles have already shifted once this year, and are threatening to do so again; the planet's very spin seems to be veering more and more off-course every day, the earthquakes on the Pacific plate disastrous. Yesterday we lost the entire population of the western Coast to a tsunami that rose almost sixty meters in the air; driving over two hundred kilometers inland and leaving none alive. These earthquakes threaten to sink the western coast of the Devlan Republic, ripping it from the grasp of the continent. Our scientists say that if such an earthquake were to happen, the supervolcano centered in Western North America -it pains me to call it that, but despite that brave yet doomed republic falling apart over a thousand years ago, the name has held- could erupt, destroying almost everything in a thousand-mile radius and potentially killing every living thing on earth. We have in creation three Lilenthal-class spaceships, each capable of holding ten million families - each being two parents and two children - in comfortable if cramped quarters for fifty years. In addition, these ships will house a crew of sixteen million and enough stardrive fuel to search three thousand planets for habitable life. These ships are our sole chance at survival; to our current knowledge the La'Itha are constructing four similar ships while the Illian are creating two. There is no way to know when they will be needed, so we are keeping ours stocked and loading new families every time a housing quarter is completed. Religion has long since been abandoned by many in this nation, for there has been too much death and utter destruction by this gem called Earth for there to have been a God. But if there is one, may He save our souls... End Entry. |
